Dubai Tech Tuesdays No. 97 is on the books. The Community Conversations Edition took place on Tuesday, May 12, 2026, at Belcanto Restaurant at Dubai Opera, and for this edition, the crowd set the agenda. Tech founders, Web3 professionals, real estate entrepreneurs, and sales veterans filled the room. FAME by Sheeraz was there.
The Co-Founders Behind Dubai Tech Tuesdays No. 97
Gordon Einstein opened the night in front of a full house. Summer is almost here, and the seats are still taken, every single week. His reason was direct:
“We build community consistently, week after week. We are like Dubai. We never quit. We are execution leaders. We build community. We build positive connections, and it pays dividends.”
He closed with the same conviction he brings to every edition. “God bless you. We’re gonna have an amazing night tonight.”
Mohammed Siam Al-Hosseini followed with equal directness. They are at No. 97. The next target is No. 100. Then No. 200. Then No. 300, in cities worldwide. “See you soon,” he closed.
Iryna Erzen Einstein, the third co-founder, wore a piece from official event fashion partner Karolyn Store on the night.
How the Community Conversations Format Works
For No. 97, the Tech Tuesdays team handed agenda control directly to the audience. Members submitted discussion topics in advance through the official Telegram community group. The top five were selected and taken into the room for in-depth discussion. Topics could span tech, business, and personal development, with no fixed category limits. Chess tables were also set up on the floor, a regular feature of the series at Belcanto.
The Crowd That Showed Up at Dubai Tech Tuesdays No. 97
Dubai Tech Tuesdays No. 97 drew guests from across real estate, AI, audio technology, fashion, and sales. The guest list covered a wide range of industries. Karmin Habibi, a sales professional with 14 years of experience who now trains companies, CEOs, and founders, spoke on the floor about fundamentals. His point: how you introduce yourself is the first sale anyone makes, and it closes or opens everything that follows.
Other guests included Kate Adiyak, Harvard Business School graduate and founder of The House Ecosystem; Robert Halasz, a real estate entrepreneur working between Dubai and Miami; and Øystein Hasnes, an audio technology expert with 15 years in sales. Content creator Cherellejay also attended, posting publicly that Tech Tuesdays was on her list of Dubai commitments for the month.
Olga Klymass, founder of fashion boutique Karolyn Store, joined as the official fashion partner and gifted guests from the brand throughout the evening. She shared afterward that in four years of an active social life in Dubai, Tech Tuesdays is the most interesting and highest quality event series she has attended. FAME by Sheeraz also appeared on the night in partnership with Dubai.News, with Sheeraz Hasan presenting Hollywood.ai, his decentralized AI entertainment platform, to the room.
Dubai Tech Tuesdays No. 97 and What Comes Next
Dubai Tech Tuesdays is a weekly series held every Tuesday at Belcanto Restaurant at Dubai Opera, one of Downtown Dubai’s most recognized dining venues. The series has now completed 97 editions. Dubai.News is the official media partner. Community and media partners for No. 97 included Dubai.News, UDMDXB, and Sheeraz, with SiGMA, OX Processing, and WEB3 Future Space also on board.
No. 97 did what the series consistently does. The community format worked, the room stayed full, and the targets from the co-founding team are clear: No. 100, No. 200, No. 300, and eventually every city worldwide. No. 98 is next Tuesday.
